On Saturday, March 3, the Lakeland College women's basketball team traveled to Sheboygan South high school to volunteer their time at the Special Olympics basketball tournament.

The Muskies took part in the tournament as referees and score keepers. The team enjoyed its time with the youngsters and head coach Lindsey Vande Hoef is excited to continue the team's active role in the community.

"It was exciting to be able to give back to the community," said Vande Hoef. "We were able to provide volunteers to make the tournament a success. The look on the youngster's faces, just enjoying the game they love, was awesome. The athletes are so passionate about the game, it was a great experience to see the girls interacting and making it a fun time for everyone."

The Muskies are looking forward to the chance to host a free clinic for special needs students in the near future. "I want to give these athletes the opportunity to come to campus and be a part of our team and to further their skills," said Vande Hoef.
